Branding of Fox counters the Disney brand. Makes sense.

Trying to appeal more to their alt left audience, whats wrong with FOX?

They're afraid Bernie will confiscate it

First, it's not wise to drop the word fox because foxes are wise. Second, Tewntieth Century is in the past. Wise coaches don't change winning teams.

Why not just call it 21st Century? wtf that name will work for another 80 years!

Disney will also keep employee salaries at 20th-century levels.
